Today we're talking about one of our favorite topics: FOOD! Take a listen to hear about some of Lauren and Katie's favorite recipes and how food sustainability is important to each of us. We also dive into a deeper discussion with our guest, Kira Dault, on how the sustainable food movement could be more inclusive for people who are low-income, neurodiverse, disabled, and/or many other reasons!
Kira serves as the Communications Director for Faith in Place. Her personal mission statement is “To wield empathy, creativity, and collaboration to advance positive change and justice in the world.” She has a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies and Philosophy from Allegheny College and a Master of Theological Studies from Vanderbilt University.
Kira spent her early career as a hospital chaplain for a pediatric trauma center. That early work in chaplaincy continues to inform her work in nonprofit communications. Kira brings more than a decade of eclectic experience to her role at Faith in Place including communications strategy, digital communications, and advocacy strategy.
Kira’s passion for environmental justice stems from her passion for democracy, abolition, and racial justice. She lives the Hyde Park neighborhood in Chicago with her family, including her husband and two children.
